[Instructor] Partner Ryoji Mori, Eichi Law Office [Key Lecture Content] This lecture will explain the revised Personal Information Protection Act of 2028. The three-year review this time is a major revision, and it is essential to first understand where and how the revisions have been made, as well as the overall picture of the amendments. Next, we will explain the individual amendments that are practically important. The key points are as follows, but it is important to note that both the strengthening and relaxation of obligations are occurring simultaneously, increasing overall complexity. At the time of the lecture, it is expected that subordinate laws and guidelines will not yet be published, but we will discuss points that require attention upon publication. We will distinguish between what is necessary across businesses and what varies by industry. [Lecture Items] 1. Expansion of consent exceptions: Relaxation of the difficulty of obtaining consent and expansion of academic research institutions 2. Statistical exceptions: System content and how to read complex provisions (plus learning about acceptability from controversies) 3.
